The movement of the world [GW2 wiki]

I am not sure if this has been brought up before, but the official guildwars site already has a GW2 wiki up, and so far it has 140 articles already, most likely comming from the creators themselves.

One of the articles is "the movement of the world" and, as far as I can tell was part of the PCgamer article months ago.

Since I was one of the people who never got the chance to read the entire, or even parts, of the article, I found it quite an interesting read.

It also has some other tidbits which are worth taking a look at.|||From the article "The Depths of Tyria:"


Quote:




The Depths of Tyria is the name of the subterranean network that runs beneath the surface of Tyria. Once inhabited by the Asura, it now houses the fiery minions of Primordus.




If this is reliable from the ArenaNet designers, this may indicate that the destroyers will still be a very present force on Tyria, even a few hundred years after the defeat of the Great Destroyer. Whether this means that the same generation of destroyers we battled in EotN has just been wandering, aimlessly, in the depths for centuries, or whether Primordus created a new army when we awoke, is something we'll have to find out.|||I think that it are destroyer like creatures but better, primodus doenst make the same mistake, his former army was swept by Humans, Some norn, a little army of dwarves and a working krew Asuran|||Quote:

That was actually my point, this might be evidence that we didn't sweep his army away at all, just made them so mindless that they couldn't find their ways to the surface en masse anymore. In one of the cutscenes, perhaps during Destruction's Depths, they were described as "endless" or "infinite," something like that. This could just prove that there were thousands left in the Depths which just wander around, destroying abandoned asuran and dwarven outposts for two centuries.|||No idea where I read it (if I did at all), but isn't that meant to be what the few remaining Stone Dwarves commit their lives to doing? Destroyer hunting?

As an aside, I still wonder what happened to Kilroy Stonekin. He's almost too immortal to have him die.|||Quote:

That would be correct.|||The GW2W is maintained by players, as is the old wiki. Take everything you read on it at the moment with a pinch of salt, because aside from the occasional tidbit, the only information on the setting of Guild Wars 2 is what we can infer from the Movement of the World and the Ecology of the Charr.
